SAFETY RULES
Throughout this publication, and on tags and decals affixed to the 
generator, DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE blocks are 
used to alert personnel to special instructions about a particular 
operation that may be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly. 
Observe them carefully. Their definitions are as follows:
INDICATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION OR ACTION 
WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH 
OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, if 
not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation or action which, 
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate 
injury.
NOTE:
Notes contain additional information important to a procedure 
and will be found within the regular text body of this manual.
These safety warnings cannot eliminate the hazards that they 
indicate. Common sense and strict compliance with the special 
instructions while performing the action or service are essential to 
preventing accidents.
Four commonly used safety symbols accompany the DANGER
WARNING and CAUTION blocks. The type of information each 
indicates is as follows:

endanger personal safety and/or property of
